The Greek hero Achilles is one of the most famous figures in Greek myth, well known for his infamous anger and his art of fighting.
Like the hero which bears its name the Achilles guitar is the perfect war machine.
A huge solid body, great and deep sound due to the single cut design and an ergonomic design.
The Achilles “Builder's Choice” represents our idea of how a modern, reliable and versatile instrument should be designed.
Every choice on this model was made to keep it essential but focused on what really matters:
Strong construction, premium hardware, adaptation to the modern needs.
It features an ash wood body with a flamed poplar top, 5-ply wenge/maple neck with carbon reinforcements, richlite fretboard with stainless steel frets, handmade pickups and proprietary headless tuning system.
But the real protagonist is the multiscale fretboard, a feature that in some tuning contexts has become the only way to achieve stable tension on the lower strings, while maintaining a certain comfort on the higher ones.
This bass is designed to tour with you, not to hang on a wall.
